About the Role

WLGA is developing a Transition and Recovery Support programme for local authorities, funded by Welsh Government. The programme is intended to help local authorities as they plan for transition to a greener, post-covid recovery through the provision of support, advice, guidance, and a collective voice on these issues. Part of the programme is focused on mitigation, based on the four themes of Welsh Government’s decarbonisation route map: procurement, transport, buildings and land use. In addition, the programme aims to provide advice and support on adaptation/resilience, dealing with food, energy and water security, flood risk management and other issues anticipated as a result of increased frequency of extreme weather events.

This post will be responsible, specifically, for supporting stakeholder engagement and efficient communication for the WLGA Transition and Recovery Support Programme.
